Tim,

<< Is that Braille ? >>

My translation/look-up utility reports:

<quote>
Braile (noun)

writing system for visually impaired people

a writing system for visually impaired or sightless people, consisting of
patterns of raised dots that are read by touch.

<BG>

Well, its more than 35 years since I was a "sparks" in the Norwegian
Merchant Navy (and at some time in the Royal Norwegian Navy), but it was
more of an attempt to refresh my morse Smiley

I thought maybe you got into the cooking wine again. Smile

It looks like an SOS to me. Of course it was hard to read without the
pauses.

Good catch - the header is an SOS Smile

There's actually a space between the words, but with the default font in OE,
I should have made it a double or triple space.

Ole,
    Oops, I called back your rescue ships. Your braille translates to
"WATER, PLEAS."

Damn, I should have known that.  Braille uses multiple lines and
arrangements, anyways, so I don't know what I was thinking. Smiley
